Got a new question. The bearing in the steering wheel. Is it supposed to be like a 2 piece deal? I went to put it all back together and the wheel was flopping around. So I took it all back apart and the center part of the bearing was pulled out a little. I pushed it back in and now its fine. But I'm wondering if I should replace it. Your thoughts? This is on a 91 jeep comanche.

are you talking about the top bearing the wheel?
that bearing is a rooler ball in cage type and it uses a cage to bearing collar to preload the bearing.

ya, and the lock plate spring preloads the bearing.
where are you getting play?

It's as mws919 stated. "The lock plate spring preloads the bearing". What do you mean, you had it on backwards. The part only fits on one way. Are you sure you didn't lose any parts or have any parts left over.

I know some great mechanics. Much better than me. I say that because when they do a job they always (PARTS LEFT OVER) :) :)

BUT

the car still runs :) :)

donn't know how you got it back togather if it was backwards, but i've never tryed to install it backwards.
let me know if you need pics of it.

need a email ad to send to.
